    Abstract : The estimation of latent variable models with ordinal and continuous, or ranking variables is the research focus of this thesis. The existing estimation methods are discussed and a composite likelihood approach is developed. READ MORE

  4. 2. On Detection and Estimation of Multiple Sources in Radar Array Processing

    Author : Jonny Eriksson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; spatially correlated noise; Cramer-Rao bounds; estimation; feature reduction; virtual uniform linear arrays; classification; adaptive data reduction; nonlinear weighted least squares; multiple targets; detection;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with detection and estimation problems in sensor array signal processing. We treat the multiple hypothesis problem for complex sinusoids observed in spatially colored noise. READ MORE

  5. 3. Computational problems in evolution : Multiple alignment, genome rearrangements, and tree reconstruction

    Author : Isaac Elias; Jens Lagergren; Lior Pachter; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Distance Methods; Tree reconstruction; Sorting by Transpositions; multiple alignment; ancestral sequences; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : Reconstructing the evolutionary history of a set of species is a fundamental problem in biology. This thesis concerns computational problems that arise in different settings and stages of phylogenetic tree reconstruction, but also in other contexts. READ MORE
